    New lapel mic has just arrived so audio quality will be better for videos recorded from now on (hopefully). Thanks to those who gave that advice.

    Q nh =. Nautical Height
    Q fe = Fieid Elevation
    Q ne = Nautical Estimate or En Route
    FYI 👍

    I always remembered them as FE = Field Elevation, NH = Nautical Height,, NE = Normalised Everywhere.
    If that helps anyone else remember them, you're welcome.
    After that and 27ft/hPa, it is just arithmetic and correct visualisation of the isobars in relation to each other. I'm lucky in that respect, as the product of a Chartered Civil Engineer and a Mathematics Teacher!
    Also, when looking at a low-level chart, raised obstructions have the altitude marked first, then the height in brackets.
    The first figure is what your altimeter will be reading if you hit the top of the obstruction, the second is the distance you will fall afterwards.

    Math problem at 17:57, plane is set to 1013.2 qnh, but the plane lands somewhere where its 1023 qnh. The messed up altimeter setting is now 270 feet off (negative). Airport is at 290, so the (now incorrect) altimeter will say 20. It took me like an hour to wrap my head around it.

    • @bogdan_n
      @bogdan_n 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Setting the QNH practically means setting the reference, or the 0 point of the altimeter scale. Pressure drops as the altitude increases, so, setting a lower QNH than the actual, means setting the 0 point higher than it should be, so the plane will be higher than what's indicated on the altimeter.

      @@MichaelJohnson-fd5cx Really depends on the subject, the CAA and if you have self study or follow classes. Some subjects are really do-able and others are very hard.
      Tbh, as long as you put the work and hours in to study, You should be fine! I didn’t in the start and made it a lot harder for myself then was needed. I did self study at first but changed to following classes as that motivates me more and I’m just not the type of person to self study.
      Also, if you’re from the uk, consider taking your atpl with a different authority/CAA. I changed from uk CAA to Austrian CAA and the exams were a little easier. Austria is also a lot more lenient. But I’m speaking of 9 months ago when I finished so a lot could’ve changed.

  • @ralfbaechle

    You like many, many other sources are explaining it as if QNE was only used above the transitiion altitude which isn't strictly true. QNE can be useful when the airpressure is outside the value that can be set on the subscale of the altimetere. I've also seen it being used in the handout for pilots of a gliding competition - not sure why, the weather there certainly wasn't extreme, I was wondering there are altimeters that can' tbe adjusted at all? Or the button has fallen off ;-)
    Various sources alternate between describing QNE as the standard pressure of 1013.25hPa or the altitude indicated when the altimeter is set to that standard pressure of 1013.25hPa. This is what Skybrary says: "QNE is different to the other altimetry Q codes in that it is an altitude not a pressure (although it is commonly incorrectly described as such)." I take Skybrary is as close to authoritative as it gets, so this is how I'm using the term QNE.
